Grrrrrr! NIPPLES!

[DiscoDes]

Thanks to the generosity of seniorphil I have a plethora of 18650 batteries.

However they are flat tops and I want to use them in my Provari.

What size magnets do I need?

Where can I get them?

Anyone want to sell me a few?

I have plenty of 8 mm diameter 1 mm thick, not sure if they are right for the PimpVari but happy to post you some. You can get loads of sizes on eBay, just don't go for the strongest N54 as they are very brittle.

lovely looking nipples there des I think VapingBad magnets should work fine

Had a quick search and quite a few people advising against magnets in the PV, a blob of solder seems the best solution or a thin rubber washer with a pin or rivet in the centre.

To be quite honest i feel a bit let down    and since i know nothing of magnets i'll get my coat

Is this better?

 some people obviously have far too much time on their hands

I use a 5mm x 1mm to make flatties work in the Vamo. No problems.
Personaly I'd not go the solder route. It doesn't stick very well and if it comes off then I recon it'd move easier than a magnet.
So long as there is no batter rattle then the magnet ain't going anywhere.
I got 5 for 2 squid off eBay I think.
Your welcome to have a couple mate as I just swap the one to each battery.
The others are stuck to my cotton trimming scissors which are stuck to my drill bits which are stuck to my nail clippers which are consequently stuck to my screwdrivers lol

I just soldered a small piece of brass bar to the top of mine for the prov.

For those of us without brass bar you could cut a section from a brass machine screw, easy and cheap to get hold of and a much better idea than a solder blob.

Cheers Guys, as a past Prototype Wiring Solder Jockey I too don't think that solder is a good idea, it's too soft and adhesion will be an issue, so I am going to go down the 5mm x 1mm magnets route, i'll get a few off of Ebay I can't see them costing too much.

DiscoDes Just checked mine and they are 8x1 mate.

Yes that would work great.

Problem with magnets is they can slip, and if they make contact with the mod wall will short your battery. I much prefer the idea of soldering a nipple on to the battery. Either that or go one step further and take Provari apart and solder one to the connection, that way all batts will fit it.

Thanks ruffdog but I reckon the 8mm OD may be too big to get in the U shaped recess inside the Provari, so I'm looking for some 5mm OD x 1mm thick but it seems like they only cone in 2mm thickness ???

I should be able to find them on Ebay.......................
